seeing what others can’t
“And Elisha prayed, ‘O Lord, open his eyes so that he may see.’ Then the Lord opened the eyes of the servant, and he looked and saw hills full of fiery horses and chariots all around. -2 Kings 6:17
Many times we may look at someone and think they are crazy, or look at a situation and see no solution. We think to ourselves, “There’s no possible way this could’ve happened,” or, “She’s definitely gone crazy!” This is a human being. But to look beyond circumstance or reality and see God’s potential, that is supernatural.
Sometimes it takes a long time to see the potential. It certainly requires imagination. But when people’s lives become so chaotic that they can’t get out of their circumstances, we have to be the ones who can see beyond their circumstances for them. But before we can do it for others, we have to be able to do it for ourselves.
God has a very different view of you than you do. He sees you in a way that no one else can see you. He sees you as you are, hidden, transparent, and with all the personality, gifts and talents that He placed in you from birth. Many times the burden of the world puts layers on our soul. It takes some time to peel back the layers of the onion, but when we finally do, we are able to see more than what God sees. When we do this, we become free in the realization that God is our source, and we can do anything with Him.
Who are you? What has God placed in you that you haven’t discovered yet? Ask him to show his potential today. And see what amazing things happen when you do.
